Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, has said he and his group have not dropped their agitation for Yoruba nation despite the emergence of President Bola Tinubu.
Igboho stated this in an interview with The PUNCH, from his base in Germany.
The Yoruba nation agitator, who was recently released from detention facility in Benin Republic, said their agitation is not premised on the election of a Yoruba man as the president of the country.
“We have been on this agitation long even before Tinubu clinched the presidential ticket of his political party, the All Progressives Congress. Our agitation is not predicated on the election of a Yoruba man as the president of the country.
“Tinubu is a Yoruba man and him becoming the president can’t stop us from the struggle for the realisation of the Yoruba nation. We, in the Ilana Omo Oodua movement, have made this clarification several times in the media space.
“You may think that you haven’t heard from us or seen much of us recently, we are still on the project and the United Nations (UN) is aware of our activities. We have submitted correspondences and letters, keeping the world body abreast of our progression in the struggle for Yoruba nation,” he said.
Igboho said he would soon return to Nigeria, adding that his coming back to the country would not be a secret affair.
